The way you talk about the 'easiness' of high school math makes me think you've received education in the US, where the exams, and even some part of the curriculum, are laughably easier compared to what students from EU countries have experienced.

That is not to say that some people didn't have to put as much effort as others - learned faster. But when I come across people, mostly online, brushing off math at or above high school level as easy have either received subpar/simplified math education (happens almost exclusively in the US and some shitty EU countries), or have too much confidence from their positive experience with low-difficulty exams.

> I had to conclude that I can't make others understand things the way I do.

If you've had this happen too often you're probably just bad at explaining things, or even worse you haven't fully understood them.
Then this reduces to that old adage that, if you win big in the lottery, you need to put every significant law firm in your area on retainer, so that local people can't find a lawyer to sue you. If you just put a bit of money in every up-and-coming technology company, then you get to pull their strings when you need a favor. Very smart.
How to Prepare for a Perfect B2B Call
That’s a design choice. The architecture doesn’t require a middlebox.
This seems to be about hardware/software that performs encryption? I've yet to see any modern democratic government prevent someone from using a one-time pad, a piece of paper and a pencil to encrypt a message.
Maybe people who want and can change the world end up having a lot of money as a bi-product.
Backdoor algorithms and operators cannot be reasonably trusted to not disclose the key or data.
ah perfect i was just about to implement cosine similarity in js :)
Or, “you’re welcome to fork it and make changes for use by yourself and others, but please don’t have any expectation that I will review or merge the changes you propose.”
There were all too many efforts from EU to ban or at least limit encryption. They all get shot down for perfectly valid reasons only to come back after a few months in one form or another.

This implies that:

1) there is a clear agenda among the political class to go against the will of the citizens despite the strong opposition to the idea

2) it will eventually succeed because they will hide the legislation in some obscure act of law anyway

An example how shady EU council can be:

"Acta was slipped through the European Council in an agriculture and fisheries meeting in December"

Even though it's life changing money, he doesn't appear like a guy who exits a trade before the peak.
It has always been like this. It is just harder to sustain the illusion that democracy somehow magically means that wealth and power don’t exist.
That’s not really a good understanding of the European world pre-enlightenment. Kings were not Hobbesian all-powerful monarchs, nor were they the only source of power.
There are definitely good things about shorting, like giving an incentive to expose frauds through careful research (see Nikola).

On the other hand it also incentivizes making companies fail, thus destroying value.

I'd be interested in an analysis of which side outweighs the other.
Don’t all major OS have virtual desktops now? A single desktop is very restrictive, it’s much easier to have some spatial separation between contexts.

It might not be the most visible feature for most users, but it is definitely an important one, which I would hate to see go away.
Even assuming purely good intentions, the government would want to use the key very often (hundreds or thousands of concurrent investigations) and in many large unrelated organizations (eg police + FBI + NSA + CIA + DOD + ...). It would be impractical to authorize each individual use, let alone authorize it by several parties each time.

Instead we'd see 'ongoing' authorizations on the level of an investigation, a person or team, or a whole sub-organization (modulo clearance / position in that organization). And so you'd have copies of the complete key going around.
Despite the fact that there are widely repeated accusations of market manipulation by specific hedge funds on reddit, there is no actual evidence for it.

I'm not saying reddit is manipulating the market either (maybe! I dunno). Just clarifying this point.
Where did they say that?

Nothing about this document is saying go use Apple.
Are there any well-known examples of billionaires being behind such initiatives while not seeking to publicise their involvement? This isn't a rhetorical question - I'm genuinely curious.

Increasing the amount of training data we can send would improve our results and that's what OpenAI mentioned they're working on.
What about a stronger social and welfare state, like in some progressive European countries? But as soon as Americans hear "social" they think of communist Russia and North Korea, so you can't even have that conversation.
They’ve been brought to the pedestal as “visionaries” and we bought the idea. Now we witness what they can do with the the power.

ha haa :) good one indeed.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, are you implying that what wsb is doing is unethical?
It is not market manipulation for short interest to rise above 100%. It doesn't require anything nefarious. No collusion between institutional investors required either.
I don't know how to verify this, but I've heard one source claim that firms continued to short once it was already over 100%. Even if that's not strictly collusion, it sounds — to my admittedly untrained ear — like a position that the system should want to avoid.
One thing about Manyverse and ssb that scared me off after a while is that all of the content you view gets downloaded on your device / phone, and then subsequently passed on to others. So if you subscribe to some sort of public group and someone posts some disgusting / illegal shit you're now downloading it onto your device and in the worst case share it further against your will.
Has there been any progress towards eliminating that issue, or am I just too paranoid about it?
Do you go to restaurants expecting to pay only the total cost of ingredients for your meal? Fastmail provides an excellent service and if anything I feel as though I underpay for what I'm getting. I'm happy to know they have a healthy margin to pay their developers from and improve the product.

Reddit’s run on GameStop shuts down European trading apps
Intent is very important and this keeps being lost on the layman crowd. If I go to a widely publicized open forum and say: "Let's go and squeeze the shorts so that they go bankrupt, oh and here's a picture of me doing just that." that's market manipulation and in many corners of the world, that's illegal. As in, you go to jail illegal. If I short a stock because I genuinely believe it's overpriced, that's perfectly legal.

Beyond this, I'm sure there are many funds who try and successfully manipulate the markets, but they try to do it quietly. To do in blatantly in the open is basically rubbing it in the regulators face and giving them no choice but to crack down.

Nobody would notice a bunch of idiots doing this quietly. A 1 million strong mob hivemind will get noticed and will leave no choice for regulators but to come down hard on them.

This is not rocket science. It's the same sort of crowd who planned to storm the capitol, meticulously documented the evidence, posted it online (including confirmation of identity through driving licenses) and then went ahead and did the deed. They basically handed all the evidence to the feds on a silver platter.
Interesting, but ultimately overly self-centered essay lacking real substance and evidence.

1. Gripe: Why do authors seek to write auto-biographical introductions? I count 5 full paragraphs of intro into this self-admitted "plodding" professor, who is not a genius, nor is he describing the "nature" of genius in those paragraphs. It comes off unnecessary and self-centered to write 5 paragraphs about yourself at the start of an essay on the nature of genius, does it not?

2. Mozart is held up as his first great example of Genius. Mozart had numerous advantages when young, though: he grew up in an intensely musical family, his brain was adapting to music in his first 3 years and then he was professionally trained beginning as a toddler. If you'd been playing piano for 3 years and your brain was specially adapted to it, yes you could be a wonder of Europe if you were also still only 5-6 at the time. The exponentially faster learning that young children exhibit is well known: their brains are extremely neuro-plastic.

3. Further down the essay, once more, a few autobiographical paragraphs about his class and Yale, and waxing poetic on gender discrepancies, not about geniuses. The essay seems to lack focus on the stated topic, the Nature of Genius, not the Nature of Yale or of the writers' life.

4. After more waxing poetic and little hard evidence except for cursory mentions of the famous geniuses, I find myself waiting for the simple point: genius is a social construct. We are all cooperatively working together, and geniuses are those who are labeled geniuses based upon the impact of their output. To explore the "nature" of genius is therefore a confluence of exploring psychology, human networks, history, and epistemology, and how socially geniuses excel inside the network of thought.

5. IMO, modern schooling is quite time-consuming and limiting. I find myself wondering, didn't the apprentice system where children had time to work on topics for a full decade longer, while younger, doesn't that aid in the creation of greatness? Rather than our painters painting from age 12, they don't begin working in earnest until age 22, up until which time their "work" consists of theoretical assignments, problem sets, and doesn't touch the real world applications which greatness necessitates.
define good. what's good for me might be terrible for you.
Even if you believe it's possible to have secure communications with the government having key escrow (it's not), protection from the government is valid.

Yesterday was Holocaust memorial day. It's still well within living memory when a legitimately elected government tried to wipe out vast swathes of their populous because they had the audacity to be born into the wrong religion, sexual orientation, disabilities or political views.

People like Willem Arondeus are quite rightly seen as heroes. Can you imagine how much different things would have been if the Nazis were able to get not just everyone's (semi) public facebook posts but all of their private messages as well and use that for targeting of undesirables? As a more recent example, the Rwandan Genocide was massively helped by the fact your national ID card identified your ethnicity.

Whilst it's easy to say our current government would never do such a thing, we find ourselves living in a time when the far right is on the rise again and the idea that they would get elected is not beyond imagination.

edit: facebook is obviously the wrong example to use here, but there's a difference between someone being able to get a legally issued court order to see stored communications on a platform, or even what data I have on my device and being able to decrypt any communications as it transits over a wire, so I feel the point still stands.
South Park tried to make this argument over a decade ago and they were dead wrong.
Also this is how Windows Vista and later work.
Perhaps you wish to have both your collaborative and your presentational works on the same (in this case near de facto) hosting provider.
Uhm.. what windows are you using? Win 10 Chrome does "lag" if you resize the window. It's very noticable, but people seem to accept it.
Windows explorer is almost perfect. But even that one sometimes draws the old sized content if you resize the window.
Sublime seems perfect, Visual Studio stutters quite badly.

I use a Vulkan Swapchain, to get a swapchain image, you have to say for which window and must use the current size, then you can do all the drawing and present. If the compositor decides to update inbetween, it will show the old swapchain image with the new window size.
I contributed a few words to the previous project, roughly 20 years ago.

Time to spin up their own Lemmy server?

https://lemmy.ml/docs/en/index.html

"Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere."
Reviewing, testing and maintaining code takes up development time that could be used more productively. If there's something wrong with the PR (say, code style issues or mistakes) then you need to run through the cycle all over again.

The project is open source in that you're free to use it, sell it and go through its code. Open source does not, however, imply that someone must put in the work for you if you want to apply changes to the code yourself.

If you'd like a version of the project that takes pull requests, then you can always create a fork that accepts pull requests and comments. This puts the burden go testing, merging and quality control on you, but most of the work you'll be doing is what you're expecting the developers of a product to do for you anyway. If your energy pays off and your fork has less bugs, more features and becomes more popular, the original developers may turn around and cooperate with you instead.
Pricing a SaaS product (2019)
Look at the existing cases of terrorism. All of them used unencrypted forms of communication: shared Gmail account, phone calls, even good old SMS. The issue is not that police can't see what those people are doing, none of the perpretators are unknown; it's that they (and the judiciary branch) don't have enough resources to really tackle them.
It looks more like a coordinated pump than a squeeze. Tons of new accounts are spamming these tickers everywhere.
I'm reminded a little bit of an experience I once had trying to give away a graphing calculator I didn't need anymore.

I posted it on Freecycle, and found someone who was interested within a day or so. But, in communicating with them, it turned out they didn't just want a free calculator. They wanted me to drive an hour out of town to drop it off at their house, and to spend time teaching them how to use it, and to share my phone number so that they could call me if they had any questions. And, when I tried to set some boundaries and say, "Look, I'm just giving away a calculator, that is all," they started getting abusive.

When I put stuff up on GitHub, it's like that. I'm just trying to share some code. I'm really not interested in doing much beyond that, and I'm definitely not interested in people assuming that, just because I've decided to share some code, I'm also giving away product and project management services, or training, or anything like that.
The flexibility is cool, but why would you want to fragment your bug trackers, for example, like that?
This resonated with me significantly. Thanks for the insight!
It's a pity there isn't more action in the e ink application/device world. Seems like there's so much potential. I'd love a kindle-like laptop for writing.

I guess it's just extremely hard to compete for a beachhead against an incumbent (mobile touch displays) that's more general and mass produced.

Agreed, but sounds like the issue is the politicians and the government, not rich people.
Probably more "the company begged someone of high visibility to write their name on it".

Cost of advertising is a serious problem for generic drug makers. There are a lot of drugs where there exists an identical, cheaper, generic version, but the more expensive one gets sold because neither the doctors nor the patients have any idea that it exists. Hence all the "ask your doctor for x" ads, but the problem is that advertising on that scale, especially for low-incidence conditions, is very expensive compared to the amount of money you make, an so will result in just another expensive drug.

A celebrity putting their name on a drug company and then maybe mentioning it a few times publicly in places where normal people hear about it may make people who are facing very expensive drug bills look up the site and see if they make something useful for them.
Money needs to go back into the system from the bottom. The current system is as if you only allowed blood to circulate to the head and not back.

Those things probably could still exist if there was a cap on earnings, would there really be none of those things if you couldn't earn more than 100 million.

Obviously I am talking about net assets and money, not just "salary".
Trading (or posting) to cause impact and affect other positions you have is manipulation too. But it's not really provable in the case of WSB so they're safe.

wasn't a similar attempt by Amazon+Berkshire+JPMorgan recently dismantled ?
There are two things at play here in my opinion.

First is that math builds upon itself. You can't do algebra without understanding operators, you can't do calculus without understanding algebra etc...

Second is that many feel math is boring, and they just zone out during the critical years. To get good at math, you need to assimilate concepts by playing around with them and doing the homework.

Combine both these and you really have no way to tell if a person is lost because they are not good at math or because they've done #1 and #2 their whole lives.

>> "An instrument is a very different concept from an indicator"

You are right there.

>>"The Fed wants to keep the price level on a stable trajectory, and they use an interest rate target as an intermediate instrument to do so."

Yes, they use it like the main instrument to do so. And that's the reason why they can't just allow the interest rate to float freely. And because they can't allow the interest rate to float freely they have to add reserves when the inter-bank market is going up. So, reserves will be added to the system when banks need them.

Causality: banks lend -> reserves are added
